ForcedBrandinization [comrade/them]

I was going to say that how do people with roommates apply? Would it be possible to consider him a roommate if he doesn't help with money/food with any regularity

Yeah I'd need to dig into my notes from a WMD elective I took in college, got two CIA folks to come talk to us in that class 👁️

You are correct, I was just being dumb

The US is just letting them hold a few of theirs, just to see what it feels like

Didn't Sunak just get fired too lol

Time to start breeding wasps as eviction defense

I was trying to figure out a good joke with that setup but they were all too depressing

I keep reading this as demonitization like they're some kind of vlogger

On the savory grains for breakfast, I've been a big fan of faro recently

It's time to make the Zpac obsolete, it's got the Russian letter

I think it spawns a bunch of time wasting discourse online, but online discourse has always and will always be time wasting because it will never really affect the offline world.

The thing about shit like this act of protest is that it can spark off discussions between people in real life. Plenty of stuff like this has had some pretty checked out or downright chud people I know ask me about it knowing I'm pretty far left and think it's a gotcha, but has been an opportunity to steer the conversation more towards actual meaningful discussions or at least poking at an individual brainworm they have.

Were there other forms of protest that might have been more effective, maybe, but I think dunking on anyone who cared enough to go out and do something like this is misplaced.

Now if it were something like the group that had a homeless encampment removed so they could hold signs and do nothing, not even catch a news cycle, then I have a different opinion and am much more likely to call that an op because it's getting something the white pmc class wants done under the guise of something good that is ultimately ineffective

"oh cool they interviewed AOC. Wow, it's a long interview, too!"

I use Textra+ signal now. Used Textra since I've had a phone that can download apps, but I'm honestly unsure of any sort of merits or reasons to use it besides having used it for this long

It seems like what is being produced and what the workers are doing will be explained in a second season if there is one, but imo the nature of work in a massive corporation is really captured by the show in that to many workers their jobs are so focused and somewhat repetitive your work can become something as crazy and boring as organizing numbers until they feel right and that your job is so detached from the products that you may not really know what you make (take it far enough and you could make comparisons to people making drone parts at Lockheed or something, "I just make the chips / code a module")
